One of the key benefits of the revelation of Baha’u’lláh is expressed in a talk that His son, His appointed successor `Abdu’l-Bahá gave to the Japanese YMCA at an “independent Japanese church” in San Francisco in 1912.
“The foundation of all the divine religions is one. All are based upon reality.”
The lamps of the divine religions may seem different. This amazing talk from the book, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, pages 485-492, is so beautiful. It honors the lamps of Moses, the Buddha, Confucius, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad, and it also recognizes the light is essence the same light. And the light is about love.
Verily, we should consider the divine Prophets as the intermediaries, but mankind has made use of Them as causes of dissension and pretexts for warfare and strife. In reality, They were the intermediaries of love and reconciliation. If They were not sources of love and fellowship amongst men, then undoubtedly They were not true, for the divine wisdom and purpose in sending the Prophets was the manifestation of love in human hearts.
